Let's Ask Kathy 😄

My cousin used to love grossing me out when we were kids. He'd take a raw egg yolk, pop it in his throat then the yolk would come back up in his mouth. So disgusting. And I love runny yolk too, but it still grosses me out thinking of that little turd doing that.

That is an amazing feat. My experience was once the raw egg was far enough back in my mouth there was no way to stop it from going down. The only way to bring it back up would have been to vomit.

I have spent my time swinging a maul.
All I have is oak. Decided after first half cord of oak wood, that my time behind a maul was done.
Best 950 bucks I’ve ever spent.

Have you ever tried a Fiskars splitting axe? Way better than a traditional maul. Splitter is obviously easier and faster though.

He's good at all sorts of gross things. Also good at all sorts of cool things too. He's my favorite, nasty as he is.

I have. Definitely good for straight grain wood. Doesn’t have enough ooomph for oak and madrone. My maul is 16 lbs and bounces on some of this stuff.

I'm not risking it.
Seriously, though -- what is a, "Jacob's ladder?"

Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran. He came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and lay down in that place. He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.” Genesis 28:10-13 (NASB)

This is the hot one right?

Elm and cottonwood can be nasty to split also.

Thank you!
This is a meaning that I am far more comfortable with...

It’s got plenty cause you can swing it faster. I cut oak with it all the time. Gotta be strong enough to use it properly I guess.

How big around you splitting?

10-14” pieces no problem. I’m constantly popping 25-30”+

Trust me strength isn’t my issue.
